What's the deadliest cute thing? (Or the cutest deadly thing?)

That’s its soft roe. Milt.

Or as my husband delights in telling me as he eats it (not fugu, usually cod etc)

“Fish spunk.” :eek:

Male rednecks at ski resorts with hot tubs do the same thing.

Deadly psychedelic octopuses, tiny inch-long jellyfish that you sting you to an agonising death… not to mention the sharks, crocodiles, spiders, dingos, drop bears — it’s a wonder there are any Australians left at all! :eek:

I got your cute and deadly, for sale right here :slight_smile:
These guys have collectively killed more people than everything else here combined.

I spent some time last night looking for pictures of young female Air Force Missile Officers (ideally with the launch key hung around their necks). I figure that’s got to be the flat-out deadliest animal on the planet, and there’s bound to be a cute one somewhere. No luck so far though.

Repressed feminist rage coming out?

I know a few crush fetishists who would kill for a woman like that.

My dad’s name is Milt…:eek:…:frowning:

And Freudian, I’m willing to take my chances.

My cat is actually a deadly ninja assassin who’s going to kill me by causing me to trip over her.

You, sir, have made my day.

In the grim future of Hello Kitty, there is only war.

Hmm, plushing something up does not guarantee cute, methinks. I can think of things more huggable than the E-coli one.

…reminds me of a nightmare I once had that Furbies were some kind of parasitic organism, that would hide in the shadows and attack when you least expect it :eek:

Yeah, a “nightmare.” Keep telling yourself that. :wink:

Elephants?

A few of Mother Nature’s favorite little murder machines. Some old, some new!

The Blue Ring gets my vote, partly because it was featured in a James Bond film (granted, it was “Octopussy” with Roger Moore, but still).

It was only about 20 years after seeing the movie that I learned that the sucker actually exists, and that the octopus-in-the-tank footage wasn’t all faked.

Umm…, a schoolgirl with a machine gun?

I just randomly ran across this link, 15 Cute Animals That Can Kill You. Has pictures of most of the suspects in this thread.

Heh, I don’t know, jellies don’t do it for me.
You see, blue ring octopuses have that aura of alien malevolence and those permanently and murderously pissed-off eyes most cephalopoda have… BUT they’re teeny tiny. Like a chibi version of Chtulhu, they’re so *precious *! They’re really like cats that way, lovable pint-sized minions of Evil.

On the other hand, jellyfish are just living mucus, really. Small gross is still gross.
